Natural Foods and Supplements
In this section of Seattle Organic Restaurantsn I’m going to talk about benefits of organic foods and supplements. You’ve probably heard of the expression that “let the food be your medicine and let the medicine be your food”. Organic foods have many health benefits and are a high source of minerals, vitamins, nutrients, enzymes and antioxidants. The modern life style and the industrial pollution has made it difficult to get all the nutrients necessary for our body, even through eating organic foods. Taking natural food supplements can improve health and balance of the minerals and nutrients in the body.
Here are some of the top organic herbs with many health benefits:
